intervention mapping

Intervention mapping is a structured process used to design effective health programs or strategies. It involves identifying the specific health issue, understanding the target group's needs and influences, setting clear objectives, and then systematically developing activities or messages to encourage positive behavior change. The process ensures that interventions are based on evidence, tailored to the audience, and grounded in behavior science, making them more likely to succeed. It acts like a detailed blueprint, guiding the development of comprehensive, targeted efforts to improve health outcomes.
